The AEM hose is more pliant than the OEM hose. I heated it in hot water and then worked it on the TB first, then installed the CAI. It was so tight I didn't use a hose clamp. I think you may have to go with the aftermarket, or another OEM hose (Corolla, maybe?).
I just measured the inside diameter of my 1ZZE TB = 60mm. The inside diameter of the OEM hose is 54mm. That's not gonna stretch that far. The hose has to stretch to the outside diameter of the TB, which is approximately 64mm. The rubber is alot thicker on the OEM hose than on the AEM CAI hose. I'd be very impressed if the dealer gets it on. I bet they'll have to use something else. Sorry your having problems.
